Photos of random items. Some reflecting a mood I am in, others for the shear joy of it. Challenge and persistence in finding that perfect shot, without manipulating the situation is key for me. No lessons here, I don't have the knowledge to teach.

I am someone who enjoys taking photos, my subjects are random, from bugs to babies. Photography is therapy for me, I have no real knowledge of the art, I am learning a bit here and there. I use an inexpensive camera.I simply love taking shots of interesting or beautiful things I see. I love the adventure of attempting to get the perfect shot. Please enjoy these photos and share them with your friends. For me the ultimate success is knowing someone may be amazed or made to smile.

My granddaughter loves flowers, more importantantly she loves to pick them to make bouquets, or simply to present a blossom to someone she loves. Unfortunately, all the flowers she has access too, are in someones's yard. I had the task of explaining to her that picking them was wrong, they don't belong to her. In my attempt I remembered that she also loves photos I take of flowers and wants to learn how to do it. We took off on a walk, with her baby brother and my 2 borrowed cameras. She learned if you don't pick the flowers they are there for everyone to enjoy and if you take photos a lot more people can enjoy them. Here is what we came up with, her pointing out what she wanted a picture of and me trying to get the composition correct with a toddler in a stroller trying to crawl out. We had a great time, I hope you do too!

This is my favorite of the collection.
